Multiple thread creation problem with AsyncAppender
I have a log4j2.xml configuration file from which I am getting the Logger,
attached is the snapshot. when my logger is created a new thread is created.
Programmatically,I create a RollingFileAppender and attach the same to
AsyncAppender . I attach the Async Appender to the configuration of the
log4j.xml, And when I start the Async Appender again a new thread is
created.
The problem now is that both the threads are writing to my async appender
so for a 5 lakh line log, I get 10 lakh lines because each thread is
writing the log.
Is this a bug? because I get a logger a new thread is generated and when I
create a async appender another thread is created and both are doing the
same job.

I'd like to see your log4j.xml. Can you raise a Jira ticket and attach it?

Yes, log4j2.xml also defines a AsyncAppender but which is not mapped to any
logger. Is there a way that I can get the asyncAppender from the
xmlConfiguration and hook my RollingFileAppender? I did not find any such
convenience.
Why is handling of Appenders in log4j2 not straightforward? Or probably If
i am not aware can you please help me.
Regarding Lakh, I meant , 5Lakh lines inside my log file, which I am
printing in a for loop for my testing.:-)

Does your log4j2.xml also define an AsyncAppender?
(Btw, what is a lakh?)
